If your child is younger than 15/16, have them get parents permission before getting on this site. It can be dangerous, and if they do get one, make sure they don't add too personal of information.
if i wasn't married i might have found one i new zealand lol it's crazy you can communicate with people everywhere but beware some of them come with there most destructive malware from their regions fraud and porn is expected here so for children it isn't the best pick children should be directed to google or yahoo while if you're old enough and bored with some good net experience it's fine just don't be stupid and give info out to someone that could be a bounty hunter or some crazy mafia ganstas it is fun but my space is funner
Facebook has a lot of negatives and positives. I stay away from it because the site is annoying to get around, privacy issues, and not a friendly user website.
I like Facebook...I havent had a problem with it yet. But everyone be careful, dont click on the ads on the side, because they might redirect you to a harmful site. My friend once got a virus on his from doing ***** just dont click on them, especially the ones that say "make 100 bucks an hour." My guess is that those are scams. So if you decide to continue to use facebook, make sure you are careful what apps to put on.
Annoyed that an email saying someone is requesting my FB friendship was really just a ploy for me to check the other requests. The alleged requesting person did not exist!
